All NBA fans can agree that Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is a great player, but what makes him so special?
Colin Cowherd got into that question on Monday’s episode of his show.
Highlighting his performance in this year’s Olympics, Cowherd said that Curry’s shots would be “audacious looking for everybody in the league.”
However, Cowherd said that Curry has a way of making it all work and, aside from Magic Johnson, is the best point guard of all time.

Curry was on a tear during Team USA’s final game against France, creating a highlight reel that will be watched again and again for years to come.
He scored 24 points in the game and went 8-of-13 from beyond the three-point line.
The final minutes consisted of Curry raining down threes, and raining on France’s chances of winning gold.
His final three-pointer was performed while being defended by two guards and leaping backward while off-balance.
Yet the ball somehow found its way to the basket.
This is just par for the course for Curry, who has been performing circus shots throughout his entire career.
Cowherd said Curry is so good that he makes other players, including Michael Jordan, look and feel outdated.
He also said that Team USA only won gold because of Curry, a true testament to his excellence.
Curry has always been celebrated for his shooting abilities but his greatness isn’t solely about the way he always makes his shot.
He also is a strategic star who reads the floor, his teammates, and his opponents perfectly.
He did that a lot during the game against France, and it granted him his first Olympic gold medal.
